Sony Pictures Partners With Nokia on Virtual Reality Content

Sony Pictures has teamed up with Nokia to produce and distribute virtual reality content, both companies announced Monday. This will include live streaming of 360-degree video to get fans a virtual front row seat at Sony Pictures events.

As part of the collaboration, Sony Pictures is going to use Nokia’s OZO virtual reality camera to produce 360-degree 3D videos. Sony will also add Nokia’s SDK to its Privilege Plus app, which is exclusively available for Sony-made mobile phones.

“Partnerships with cutting edge technology companies like Nokia are critical as we develop the market for VR experiences and build scale in our production and distribution efforts,” said Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Digital Sales SVP Pete Wood Monday.
